Big nostalgia. Blogging was...it was doing stuff. I DID stuff for my community (if nothing else, showing others they weren't alone in the political desert). I don't want to go back to doing it now, but it was a heady, fun, interesting time. I miss regularly writing!

In 2015, at the peak of the digital media boom, law student Nathan Robinson founded the print magazine @currentaffairs.bsky.social. He makes the case for why democracy needs small print magazines for TPM’s 25th anniversary series on 25 years of digital media: talkingpointsmemo.com/tpm-25/why-i...

If we're only gonna read the headlines anyway, why should we pay for it!! Kidding. The @theonion.com seems worth it & maybe 2 or 3 (other) reality-based news sources? Crap, I prolly *should* ditch Netflix in favor of @democracydocket.com rn .. I'll have to noodle on it. Thanks for the journalizing!

I say this as a TPM subscriber and a resident of what you’d probably call a small town, but is what passes for a city in my area. I wonder if it would be practical for local journalism outfits to offer a unified subscription model. “For $2/mo more, you also get access to state government blog x”

I was online with TPM when you first began. It was a revelation!

Okay. Who overlooked this inherent flaw?

I wasn’t being snarky; I’m genuinely curious. Your post didn’t really say, as far as I could tell.

Bartcop turned me on to TPM all those years ago. Still miss that guy.
